is the latch made or steel, or is it made of plastic like the cheaper aluminum wallets/card holders?

This product is made with all steel...including the latch. The inside sleeves are the only part not steel.

it's made of steel all the way around very durable. Husband loves it for his line of work which is heavy equipment.

The latch is made of steel. Inside where the cards are placed is plastic. Hope this helps.

it appears to be a soft but firm satin type material; the exterior of the slots is the same material that the case is made of. I don't think it was intended to be a real wallet, because I found that if I put too much in the pocket it causes my phone screen to occasionally come on. It is a very durable product though...I would definitely recommend it. People ask me all the time where I got my phone case from.

It is made of stainless steal. I did go out and try a large magnet that I have on it and it had no attraction to it.

Hi Mr Wells, This is a large sheet metal box. The latch is made by forming a dent which engages a lip rolled on the edge of the body opening. I believe it is very secure and stable after 25+ years of experience with this design. Every once in awhile some bending to reshape may be needed after someone bangs into it. This is a large box which is more susceptable to being bent by heavy snow plow spray, so it should be protected from that.

Seems to be just plastic. It's feels sufficient, but I don't think it could take a beating. There's some metal around the important parts. The two holders on the side are probably the weakest part.

I checked the picture and it does look like a spring steel latch however mine is held shut with a magnet much like kitchen cabinets were several decades ago. I'm very pleased with mine.

It is a plastic sleeve. Easy to get cards Ina ND out. The plastic seems durable.

I'm not sure what it's made of - it's not leather, maybe hide? - but it definitely doesn't rip or tear easily. It's not paper, and I don't think it's plastic. I bought this for my nephew, and it's still in good shape even though he is NOT easy on it. ;)

The gate itself is metal. It does have some plastic coverings and the top slide latch is metal. Where the gate connects together at the top (where the top slide latch is) is one of the plastic coverings.We've had one of our many gates for 3 years and no one has noticed the minimal plastic and we haven't had any issues.

Mine is snap on. I believe the earlier versions were magnetized. There is "wallet" on one side for credit cards and it is metal.

It is steel. It is a good safe but it is not real heavy. I would think of it as a lock box more than a safe. It is perfect for my needs.

It is plastic and folds up nice. I use potato chip like clips for added que cards etc.

There is actually a plastic case it snaps into to hold the phone in. It also has a magnetic closer to keep it closed. I love this wallet! i never carry my purse any more. holds money, cards, fits in back pocket or you can use the wrist attachment. (which is also removable)

It is made out of plastic, but a heavy plastic, and it is reliable and good. I love it! I never tried to put a magnet on it.

It's like a leather type material. It's pleather I think. I can fit about 4 cards in one card slot. But I just put one card per slot(there are 4 slots) it's bulks up a ill bit when u close it, but it doesn't bulk so much that u can't close. So far my case took all the abuse to it lol. It's protects well too.

Thanks for your interest. The case is made of part plastic and the pocket that will contain your credit cards is made of a high-quality synthetic leather. We have 5 left of our limited edition cases for the iPhone 5/5s that's pocket is made with genuine, top-grain leather.
